thanks Colin ... I haven't seen this one before. The photo was taken only a few metres away from that used on the 1d Pictorial.

Would you able to provide a scan of the verso please?

Thanks Colin ..... I'm glad that I asked for an image of the verso as the addressee is none other than
an Ernest Albert Winter* who established the "Tasma Studio" at Burnie in 1909. His family ran a
groceries, wine & spirits store in Bridge Road, Richmond, Victoria and he was definitely residing there
at the time of this correspondence.
